Summary After nine years of marriage to a Navy man, Elizabeth Reynolds had returned to small-town southern Texas, while her husband finished his tour of duty. She worked on the couple's home and on finishing her bachelor's degree in psychology at Texas A&M. Elizabeth soon became infatuated with a former acquaintance, Albert Benitez, a former police officer who was teaching law enforcement at a nearly community college. She signed up for his class but it wasn't long before she became obsessed with him. They began dating. She initiated divorce proceedings and underwent a tummy tuck and dental work, and dyed her hair blonde. But, after all the time and money spent to please him, she discovered Albert was still seeing other women. On August 8, 2003, she brought pizza and a movie to his Kingsville home and spent the night. The next morning, at 7:30 a.m. as they were getting ready to leave, a strange man knocked on the door, and when Albert (caught without his sidearm) answered, the man opened fire. When the shooter fled and drove away with Elizabeth, Albert managed to call 911 to report that he had been shot and his girlfriend kidnapped by the shooter. Although he was pronounced dead five times during his multiple surgeries, Albert survived. When Elizabeth, presumed a hostage, turned up unharmed without a consistent explanation and a dubious escape story, local police became suspicious. Eventually they found Albert's would-be assassin, Francisco Perez, and a money trail that led back to Elizabeth. In 2005, Perez was convicted of attempted capital murder and sentenced to 60 years and Reynolds was convicted of criminal solicitation of capital murder and sentenced to life. Neither will be eligible for parole until 2035.
